Time for a zero refugee policy? - *Read OP for mod warnings - updated 11/5/24*

How do they need a passport to travel within the UK?

I think that’s a little harsh. What could the public have done to stop this ?

One thing that has been really striking today is how willing people have been to dance along to the narrative emanating from Brexiteer politicians and commentators today — somehow suggesting we should be embarrassed. Embarrassed about what exactly?

These people have no love for us. The fact that Ireland didn't roll over for Brexit didn't sit well with them then and doesn't sit well with them now. They will use an Ireland-bashing narrative now for the very same reasons they have used a Euro-bashing narrative in the past — because the creation of overseas bogeymen hellbent on crushing plucky Britannia is a proven effective Tory strategy for painting Labour as weak against Britain's bogey enemies.

Italy will be sending migrants to holding centres in Albania soon

Do you not get a massive whiff of hypocrisy though ?? On one hand we criticize the Rwanda Policy as cruel and Britain should be honoring it's obligations under the human rights acts etc etc but when the asylum seekers come here to avoid this we want to 'return them'. Nimbyism…….

that’s not quite correct. The population is docile because we have a media that attacks anyone who speaks a modicum of sense and calls them racist/ludites/take your pick. Our planning laws have been cast aside for some leftist pandering to too many.

The referendum showed 2 constituencies that were with the government and the rest of the entire country voted as one and had the same result, a resounding no. No surprise those constituencies were home to plenty of money and mostly unaffected by the influx other than cashing in. If the Dail was any way representative, it should have reflected the same voting as the populace. But even the opposition is all for this crap.

Plenty have protested but have been demonised in the same way the few comrades in arms in this thread here keep attacking anyone that raises their head above the parapet.

I think the British Government are correct here, I don't think they have any obligation to take 'returns'. In essence no different to the French not taking 'returns' from the UK. It's why the Telegraph etc are cockahoop, it vindicates the Rwanda Policy and has the EU over a barrel as there is no way you can expect the UK to take returns back from one EU country if the EU won't reciprocate.

I find it hilarious the suggestions that we should just build houses for all these blokes sleeping on the street. Why should working people here have to fund free houses for any random that arrives pretending to be an asylum seeker (remember even the government now admit the majority aren't legitimate). If you start doing this on a large scale you will really see social unrest.

God help the local residents. It must be horrific living beside an open toilet.
